Halloween is Canceled is a new limited audio series unpacking and dissecting five unmade Halloween sequels. Presented by the DREAD Podcast Network’s very own Development Hell, this new podcast celebrates the strange, fascinating and often outrageous history of unmade Michael Myers features. Don’t pretend like you’re not curious…

This first episode tackles Dennis Etchison's lost Halloween 4 draft, featuring the insight of Dread Central’s very own Josh Millican. 

This alterative universe iteration of Halloween 4 is strange, cerebral and self-aware. We're talking 12 foot tall Michael rampaging a three-screen drive-in playing Friday the 13th in the background. No, I'm not kidding.

New episodes land every Tuesday from now until Halloween.  Look out for exciting bonus content, including interviews with cast members of the Halloween series.

Ever wonder what really happened to the murderous maniac Angela Baker? Well, same. This episode tackles the semi-completed sequel 'Sleepaway Camp 4: The Survivor'.

With only 30 minutes of footage shot, Double Helix Rainboy Films went bankrupt in the middle of production of this bonkers sequel to the 'Sleepaway Camp' films. 

20 years later, a group of fans found the footage and pieced together the scraps into the strangest horror film we've yet to cover.

Special guest: Andy Scott

Josh and Zena dig deep into the forgotten a CANDYMAN film, before spilling the details about Nia DaCosta’s upcoming spiritual follow up to the 1992 classic.In March 2004, Tony Todd announced he had signed on to star in a fourth Candyman film… This sequel was allegedly set at a New England all-girls private school where the Candyman was reigning havoc during a blizzard. Clive Barker was even in talks to produce this project, which was rumored to be ignoring the events of the other sequels. With extra special guest Zena Dixon (cohost of The Bloody Disgusting Podcast), these two take a real sharp look at the Candyman franchise as a whole, and speculate wildly on what could have been… and what’s yet to come.

We unpack the speculated drama within Konami, and identity the key players in the narrative. But that’s not all! We also look to the future of the Silent Hill franchise.
